Gardaí issue warning with large crowd expected at Letterkenny Graveyard Sunday Mass
One-way system will be in place and people are asked to heed the direction of An Garda Síochána
Gardaí have issued advice to those who will be attending Leck Graveyard Mass today, Sunday, in Letterkenny.
Old Leck graveyard service is at 3pm and the service at New Leck graveyard is at 4pm. Due to large numbers expected gardaí have asked people to please leave in good time to arrive for the service they wish to attend.
Gardaí have asked all those who able-bodied to walk to the graveyard.
"For those who must drive, a one-way-traffic system will be implemented along Leck Road towards Cullion Crossroads. All vehicular traffic approaching Leck graveyard from Cullion Crossroads is requested to turn for home before parking and face back towards Cullion Crossroads," a statement reads.
All vehicular traffic approaching Leck graveyard from the Oldtown direction and parking along Leck Road, past Lismonaghan Hill Junction are also requested to park facing in the direction of Cullion Crossroads.
Gardaí are urging drivers not to park in graveyard gateways as ambulance may need access.
Disabled parking will be available in the graveyard and when exiting the area, a left turn towards Cullion Crossroads only will be permitted.
"Your assistance and patience is very much appreciated," gardaí say.
